RHOPALOCERA FROM FORMOSA. 325 



white VV 011 hindwing is longer and more curved and there are only three 

 fulvous spots near anal angle and tail, not four as in scintillami the third 

 from anal angle being absent. It is not improbable that scintillans may 

 have a dimorphic form of the typical female with blue and fulvous patches 

 on the forewing as is the case with j'apontca, Murray ,=taxila, Bremer, 

 and that these two specimens of taiwanus may be merely varieties 

 of female sçintillans. It will not, however, be safe to offer a decided 

 opinion on this point before the male of taiwanus is captured. 

 Expanse 4J-46 millimetres. 



Named after the Japanese name for the Island of Formosa which is 

 Taiwan.
